The relationships between local police and the people in the areas they serve have been under ever-closer scrutiny during the year, with calls for greater oversight and reforms increasing with each new incident involving possible excessive force by police officers. An upcoming Northern Kentucky Forum will address police community relations and explore the measures local police departments have enacted to build trust in their communities. Joining us to discuss police community relations in Northern Kentucky are attorney David Singleton, executive director of the Ohio Justice and Policy Center and an assistant professor at NKU Chase College of Law; and Covington Police Chief Colonel Michael "Spike" Jones.
?To Protect and Serve: Community/Police Relations in Northern Kentucky,? is free and open to the public and takes place on Thursday, April 16. To RSVP, click here. The Northern Kentucky Forum is a partnership of the NKU Scripps Howard Center for Civic Engagement, Vision 2015 and Legacy.
